Hey guys i just got new type-r alpine component speakers and am in the middle of installing them. I have an aftermarket cd player with the adapter andd i just cut it out and hooked the wirring harness up to the back of the cd player. I am now going to compeletly replace all the bose speakers but am i little confused. My bose speaker in the door has a connect going to it with 6 wires in it? shoudl i cut this and use the wires on my new speakers? and the alpine tweeters have to be asslembled i beleve, did u guys do this? Im basicly a newbie, maybe there is somehitng im missing here...HELP

 

Run new speaker wire from the deck straight to your crossover. Bypass the bose system completely. Disconnect that harness in your door and leave it.

 

Hey thanks, running new wires threw the doors was kinda a pain but its just about all set, now wut about the rears should i run new speaker wire under the carpet or can i use the original wires?

 

You can't use the original wires. Just run new through the car. You can fit them in your door jamb trims then snake em under the back seat - no need to pull up carpet.

 

Yea gettin threw the jams is a pain tho. Pullin the wire threw the dash and the front door jams was hard, i dont know if there is a good way to go threw i just took off the boot and pusehd It threw but i still found it difficult. If the carpet is easy to pull up id figure that woudl be a good hiddidng spot for the wires and easier than threw teh doors. Is there wires that go threw the front to the rear doors?

 

Holy jeebus. Grammar owns you like no tomorrow.

 

Oh and to answer your question, in a 4th gen, your speakers are in your rear deck, not your rear doors. So you have to pull out your backseat (upper and lower), C pillars, and rear deck to get to them.

 

I posted that when i got home last night at like 2 AM........well who am i kiddin, i have terrible grammar when im sober. Anyway I knew the rear speakers where in the rear deck but i thought i'd have to hide the wires in the rear doors for some reason? ( I had a ruff night) anyway, ill start rippin stuff apart today and figure it out.

 

It's not hard to do, the rear speaker wires are easier than the front.

 

Aight so i got the rear seat out, pillars, and rear deck but now i realize taht the screw holes for my new speakers dont match up. Do i need a bracket? or should i just try and drill new holes? I called up a local car audio store but there closed

 

That's very strange. It's a typical screw pattern. Did you try rotating the speaker? They are drilled for different applications.

 

Yea no dice, Im trying to put in my 6.5 inch duals in the back (i know kinda weak speakers) and the holes don't line up, I cant even get 2 to line up.

 

as in the brand dual? ouch

 

Just use self tapping screws.

 

Are you willing to part with your stock system (at least the tweets)? If so, let me know at redceligt00@yahoo.com

 

why is it that you cant just tap into the bose wiring and use that since its already ran??

 

this is the best and worst SN ever created on the org.
